Anafi is a small, remote island in the Cyclades, located east of Santorini. Known for its tranquility, unspoiled beaches, hiking trails, and the towering monolith of Mount Kalamos — the second largest in the Mediterranean after Gibraltar — Anafi offers an authentic experience away from mass tourism.
Local beekeeper Manolis Kolydas shares a heartfelt tribute to his island, describing a place shaped by mythology, nature, and tradition. From the ancient coin engraved with a bee to the continued passion for beekeeping, Anafi remains a land where time flows gently, inviting visitors to discover its hidden beauty and feel a rare sense of inner freedom.
